Amazing Grace (Veterans Day)

Written by English clergyman John Newton(1725-1807) as expiation for his involvement with the slave trade. First presented as part of a sermon in 1773, it was published in 1779, then forever after sung to the tune "New Britain" beginning in 1835.

Army Caisson Song (U.S. Army) (Veterans Day)

Battle Hymn Of The Republic (Veterans Day)

Words by Julia Ward Howe set to the tune of "John Brown's Body" sung by Northern troops during the Civil War, 1862. One of the most stirring anthems ever written, a rallying cry for genuine freedom fighters everywhere. A personal favorite of (half-American) Winston Churchill who requested that it be played at his funeral.
